ROUND ROCK, Texas (CBS.MW) -- Dell Computer said Wednesday it was cutting prices on its Latitude corporate notebooks, a move the personal computer giant said was possible because of the falling costs of microprocessors for notebook computers.

The news comes a day after Dell said it's backed up in getting its flagship systems -- the Dimension 8100 personal computer and Inspiron 8000 notebook -- to customers.

Effective on Wednesday, the Latitude CS Ultramobile notebook with a Pentium III processor at 500 MHz sells for $1,599, a 20 percent discount.
